Crayons, paper, paint and other art supplies are a great kid gift because they encourage creativity, and they don't create long-term clutter. Look for a kit with something a bit unexpected, like color-change markers, and your gift is sure to earn rave reviews.

Slippers

Warm, snuggly slippers are a great gift for the young and old alike. Pick out a pair that's a bit quarky, and they're sure to get worn. The Slipper Genie pair pictured at left, features chenille soles that clean the floors as your kiddo walks (er, runs) around the house.

Sewing is a very useful skill, and it's one that's best fostered at a young age. Pick out a sewing basket for your little one, and fill it with enough sewing supplies to get her started. Then, spend a few afternoons teaching her the basics.

Seed Balls

Make gardening a game, and your kids will love it even more. Seed balls (also known as seed bombs) are the kid-approved way to sow seeds). Just throw them where you want them; water them; and watch them grow into beautiful flowers.

A Bath Bomb Kit

Bath bombs can easily run $1 a piece (or more) in stores, but you can make them for a lot less. Buy your child a bath bomb kit, so they can learn how to make their own. There are lots of bath bomb recipes on the web to experiment with. Once your kiddo gets the process down (and develops some winning recipes), encourage them to sell their bath bombs to friends and neighbors. It'll be a fun way for them to make some money and will introduce them to the ins and outs of running a successful business.
